So today I am trying to gather up a few more loose ends to work on... ( there are many, but that is OK, one at a time) Finish out Shania's 8th grade year, schedule her graduation photo shoot, gown, ceremony, and trip. And map out her HIGH SCHOOL years, one block at a time.. CAN I HAVE A XANAX PLEASE( ok for those of you who do not REALLY know me well, please do not feel you need to keep reminding me how bad those are for you, or how counseling can help, it is a FIGURE OF SPEECH I use often.. ok? just to save ya the trouble of worry and emailing me again :) ) ANYWAY
And now that we have ALL our school stuff back together, can branch back out into the many wonderful and exciting things we get to explore as homeschoolers.. LOVE IT!! P.E-Art-Music-Drama-debate-Scripture memorization-vocabulary- poetry- Bible history- sign language- to name a few of the "extra" things we enjoy adding to our core subjects.
Had a nice night out with just my 8th grader and I. ( love those alone times with each one of the girls) and was just reminded AGAIN, how GREAT and MERCIFUL God is!!! GOD IS GOOD!! So humbled by how God has helped us along this journey, so thankful He changed our path we were on back in 2003 and turned it to a new one... we have come a long ways.. I would not trade ONE SINGLE THING for my calling as a wife and a mother and teacher. I get such a kick out of the fact that God allows me to have this time with our girls.. to give Steve the schedule he has so he can be VERY involved in this as well. Just to think how God has been molding each one of us and helping us to become what HE created us to be, HIS servants! Thankful that each of the girls have a heart for Jesus, and serving HIM!! Thankful for a husband that spends his last day off of the week just talking to ME, pouring over the Bible together, discussing everything from A-Z( I need days like that) of course it does not happen every single week exactly like it did yesterday, still thankful for the time we do MAKE( if we waited for it, would never happen in this busy life) Thankful for Shania and Kaity being willing to help carry the load with Kelsey being down..
Thankful that the good Lord gave us another day to do something for HIM!
Praying for each one of you who have shared your burden with me, I count it a privilege to pull up along side you to "bear one another s burdens" as we travel this road toward HEAVEN!!
Hope everyone is having a good day as you wrap up towards the end of another week.. but this week is not like all the others. May we remember WHY we are Celebrating Sunday, to REMEMBER until HE RETURNS!!
"I serve a risen Savior, he's in the world today.
I know that he is living, whatever men may say.
He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today.
He walks with me and talks with me along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart.
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart." (A. H. Ackey)

Was GOOD to be in the house of The LORD!
WAS SO GOOD TO BE IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD!!!
Bro.Hunt preached a very simple but powerful message, was so encouraging.. Was also encouraging to see the Latino church there again, and how much they have grown in just a few short weeks. Sis, Wanda sang a very encouraging song and did a good job! They had a dinner after the service for all the visitors, but we were not up for staying for that. Auntie Lee Lee spoiled us and sent us home with a WONDERFUL YUMMY dish! ( THANK YOU AUNTIE)
Just sitting here thinking how BLESSED we are to have the privilege to go to church and worship JESUS ..When all is said and done He is Really all that matters
Thankful, Blessed, grateful, and humbled... would sum up how I feel today in just a few short words.
Praying for Sis,Judy from the Victory Trio today, it is all up to God and all our days are numbered... doesn't make it easy to loose those we love and hold dear to our hearts. BUT she has RAN/and still is a good race, fought the good fight, and if now is the time Jesus comes to take her home...We can endeavor in our hearts to keep the torch burning until He comes for us!
Life is not easy, but He did not promise it would be, He did say HE would prove the Grace to live it . He promised There will be Grace, There will be hope!! HIS word is enough, it is all I want to cling to..
Draw me nearer Lord to thee!!
